Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
